Outpost News Services - Recent athletic photos of presidential candidate John Kerry have caught the attention of Major League Soccer (MLS). Freddy Adu, star forward for DC United, has been talking to coaches and teammates about Kerry's potential. "You can just tell by the way he carries himself that he'd be unbeatable on the field. I mean, if he looks that great in a tie and wing-tips, think how incredible he'd be in a pair of Umbros."
Other players have taken note as well. Says LA Galaxy star and former USA National Team standout Cobi Jones, "The man has great hair, like me. That pretty much guarantees he'll be a natural leader on the turf."
Others were a bit more skeptical. "Sure, he looked like an Olympian out there on the tarmac, but a real game is an entirely different thing," said goalkeeper Tony Meola of the Kansas City Wizards. “I mean, how effective could he be if he’s got to call Real Madrid or Arsenal to get their approval on every play? And there’s always the chance he’ll just up and surrender to the opponent.”
Still, insiders at the Kerry campaign were pleased. One aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity said, “These soccer photos show our candidate as the manly, athletic, well-groomed star he is. The real John Kerry. Not like those asinine NASA photos in the weird, blue suit.”
